Jim Carrey Characters Appear in Stranger Things Fan Video

Movieweb reports a fan-made video shared on YouTube by Your_Kryptonite7 inserts Jim Carrey's most memorable characters into scenes from Stranger Things.

The mashup places Carrey's figures into pivotal moments, including Ace Ventura replacing Eddie Munson's guitar and distracting Demobats in Season 4 with the character's so-called "singing butt," Carrey appearing as Will in Season 5 to take down Demogorgons, and a sequence that pairs him with Karen Wheeler in Season 3. The article notes Carrey first rose to fame with films such as The Mask and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and has recently had renewed success playing Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic the Hedgehog films.

The piece places the video amid a wave of fan edits produced after the show's three-part final season began in November; the first four episodes were well received but the second batch, which arrived on Christmas Day, exposed wider criticism and Episode 7 became the series' lowest rated. A petition claiming hours were cut from the final season gathered almost 400,000 signatures and prompted the #conformitygate theory, though the Duffer brothers have said footage was not removed and the official Stranger Things Instagram now reads "all eight episodes are now available"; nonetheless, fan-made additions like this continue to circulate online.
